Build a Streak with your favorite players and compete to win $5.6 million

Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, May 26

Extra innings giveth, and extra innings taketh away.

If you entrusted your streak to any hitter involved in yesterday’s Reds-Phillies tilt, you’re probably walking around with a little extra swagger this morning. Fifteen of 16 starting hitters in that one recorded at least one base knock, which isn’t surprising given that the game went 19 innings and most of those guys saw eight or nine plate appearances.

The Giants and Marlins also needed bonus baseball to settle their score last night, and the three extra frames (Three? Danys Baez is not impressed!) provided opportunity for BTS stalwarts John Buck and Greg Dobbs to get on the board. So, uh, cue the old saying about the blind squirrel and the nuts if you advanced on one of those two.

The big news in San Fran, however, was the loss of Giants catcher Buster Posey. Our current MLB streak leader at 13 games, Posey suffered an apparent leg injury attempting to block the plate in the 12th inning. We’re only a dentist, but this does not look promising. The 24-year-old carried many a Streaker during a 21-game tear last summer and entered Wednesday’s action 14-for-35 (.400) over his last nine contests.

He’s a player who would be sorely missed. Please pass around the Get Well Soon card in the comments.

Today is the day where somebody could have won $5 million-plus if they had picked perfectly every day. I wonder how many dream-crushing resets have occurred in these first 57 days? With my hit early today, my record is 41-13-3 (three rainouts). I’d like to be up around 48 at WORST.

I don’t play to get the only ####ing O fer on a team. This is the 3rd time this screw job has happened. Thanks a lot Guerrero every single other Oriole hitter can get a hit but you.
First Jeter goes O fer 6 braking my biggest streak of the season at 15, then A Rod went O fer against these Os and then he was walked on his 4th PA and then he got no 5th PA because he was removed from the game. Now Guerrero gets 5 ABs with the 5th AB in extra innings and goes O for 5.

Going to be a fairly low reset today with Starlin and Vlad both squeaking out last ab hits. A-gon, Jones and Reyes all good. Only big numbers left with Tista, CarGo, Helton and Tulo.
GL if you’re still waiting.
